Fans of the acclaimed series can look forward to the theatrical release of Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon in the Philippines this June, as confirmed by MedialinkFilms Philippines. The movie will begin screening on June 11 exclusively at Robinsons Movieworld cinemas, following a similar release strategy as the upcoming Dandadan: Evil Eye screenings.
It is important to clarify that Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon is not a new movie nor a sneak peek of the highly anticipated Season 2. Instead, this movie serves as a carefully curated recap of Season 1, compiling key moments and highlights from the first 12 episodes. This provides both new viewers and longtime fans a chance to revisit the action-packed storyline before the new season’s debut.
Audiences are encouraged to stay through the end of the screening, as the film includes an exclusive OVA episode titled “Hoshina’s Day Off.” This slice-of-life episode centers on Soshiro Hoshina, the Defence Force’s Third Division vice captain, showcasing a lighter, character-driven narrative that offers a refreshing break from the intense battles typically seen in the series.
More detailed information regarding the full list of Robinsons Movieworld cinemas participating in the screening will be announced closer to the release date. Meanwhile, excitement continues to build for Kaiju No. 8 Season 2, scheduled to premiere in July 2025. Given the structure of Season 1, fans anticipate a similar episode count for the new season.
